It was not an attempted attack — it was an attack.
The attacker was released the same day. The absolute state of New York is terrible
People like this is why we need to reopen more asylums.
The weakest attack ever. Seems to be theater. Even a mentally ill person would have been way more combative. Hate to say it but can't help but think this is fake.
Interesting
Your so done. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Didn't y'all hear? It's RINO hunting season, no tagging or bagging limits. Smfh…
Was that self defense cat key ring?
He didn't sound sorry… hehe
America needs to get people in charge that will stop protecting criminals and start locking them back up not releasing them the same day with no charges 🤷♂️🤦♂️ hopefully the Republicans get back in power because since Biden and the Democrats have taken over everything has gone to 💩 except life for criminals and addicts.They have had it great under this president and his goofball minions 🤷♂️
At least now we all know who Lee Zeldin is. That looked like a pretty boring speech until the crisis actor stepped on stage.
Why would security allow ANYONE to walk on stage so freely?
Bare minimum there should ALWAYS be a 10 foot radius around the candidate that is filled with perimeter scoping security.
Of Broken Men
There once was a boy who's intentions were pure,
His light shone so bright it blinded his peers,
They feared his sincerity and thought ulterior motives,
They taunted and battered him till his head freaking exploded.
He was shunned and made fun of and given a blight,
For all that they wanted was to dim out his light,
He didn't understand why they were so vicious,
So he retreated to mind for they were malicious.
Time traveled on and the boy he did grow,
Through fire and ice and a whole lot of blow,
He numbed all his feelings, but he couldn't resist,
The call of their pain was the source of all his.
He buried himself in knowledge and sought higher thinking,
For his light still burned dimly in his box of no friendlies,
He stoked at the flame and he fed it more fuel,
He learned of ancient arts known only to few.
Now he was Manly and his fire grew brighter,
He wanted to show them how he could inspire,
He moved their manna and manipulated their darkness,
To show them the way out of narcosis.
But again they threw it back in his face,
They were comfortable there all full of mistakes,
He tried and he tried, and threw down with confidence,
But it only angered those that reveled in darkness.
The entire world came against him and called him a liar,
And began to dim his brighter fire.
He retreated once more as they all conspired,
To wipe out his kind, to make them retire.
Now that man, he's back in his box,
A death sentence given from the start it seems,
Clawing away at all of his dreams.
This is the the story Of Broken Men,
Told by the witness again and again.
He's the last of his kind and out of his time, watch him fade from existence, Whilst you weep for your lives!
By Thomas Beasley, Last Man Standing.
So much for security detail
Why were they yelling he had a gun
He could have had a AR 15 the security detail was lacking..
I could have sworn I heard him scream"Ow,my vagina is sore!"
We are having a moral crisis, not a "gun" crisis. People no longer value life, nor have a connection to traditional values. Seems too many want to split us into "identify groups" to make victims and oppressors. What's happened to us?
Unless the DOJ returns this country to a state of Justice these things are going to continue to happen and only get worse.
savages
I do not care what agenda a person has. Liberal, Conservative, Moderate, it does not matter. Physically Attacking any politician you disagree with should carry an instant death sentence. There is no reason for violence in a Democratic elected Republic.
How many good people resist the urge to bash Republicans every day? Hard to watch these traitors to the nation keep spouting off their hateful and nonsensical rhetoric. They bring only deep shame to our country.
Dogma and politics will destroy this place.
You can let someone speak and share the microphone and let them get theyre point acrossed.
You wont be in power if we dont want you in power just saying. Now imagine if this dude had more people. Who cares what he did. Obviously he wanted to speak something.
This is the Republican party now folks….this is what they are.
I've seen better acting coming from preschoolers
There is so much wrong with these people. Just stay AWAY!
Gutfield said there was no word on if the people that took the attacker down,will be charged with Attempted Murder by Alvin Bragg!😂
He fell on his keys
Trump republican . LoL 🤣🤣🤣
u guys are politicians so whats conservative to start with
Republican coward..🤣😆
Zeldin staged the attack, didn’t charge the guy, and all because it fits his narrative. This is soooooo fake
I’m sorry I’m sorry !!!!! Lmao
Staged lol this is so fake
Batman nuckles used to break his fingers… Lol nice work people
that pos needs jail time
WTH was that?!?!
The Democrats are sending their assassins to do their dirty work.
Attack the only thing I saw the guy trying to take away from this so-called leader of the people was the microphone, seriously people do you think you would do that if he actually meant to harm the wolf if you would have wanted to attack him on life would have been easier than grabbing the microphone don't you think or can you think
The assailant looks like he is in a school play,almost smiling. Not goal directed.
Is he a plant?
Not really but you get my concern
Hog tied
If it happened to a dem it would be all over the news.
They took him alive…no hail of bullets.
